I collect baseball cards. I know I'm a dork but I have lived with that fact for quite some time.
But I am a dork with goals. I am trying to acquire an autograph of every person to play an inning for my favorite team, the Baltimore Orioles. I will be sharing the trials and tribulations of card collecting, stories from players and my thoughts on the hobby. I will try to be as entertaining as possible and hopefully you can watch me attain my goal.

The Quest

The Baltimore Orioles have been in town since '54 and have had over 900 men don their uniform. My goal is to obtain a signed card of each player. If you have something I need, or see something you want, don't be shy, we can make a deal.

Jumping on the Ginter Train

This past week has been nerve racking. End of month with my company coupled with a promotional interview wore me out. The 100+ degrees didnt help things either. But it was worth it as I earned another promotion, my second within five months.

Unfortunately, my new position comes with a commute, an hour long one. Seeing as my furthest commute had been 12 minutes it will be a major change in the coming weeks. Wifey and I haved started the new home search already. I spent the afternoon looking at a few houses and driving all over Maryland. I was a good patient husband all day and I felt like a needed a reward.

Wal-Mart delivered seven rack packs, all they had left. I love how Ginter looks, it is such an awesome set, but I won't go nuts for it. All the weird inserts and ridiculous people (Corn Hole Guy) kinda get to me. I am a baseball collector only and I can never seem to move any of the abnormal stuff. Anyone in the market let me know?
